Windows Longhorn to be more aware of the hardware health

Microsoft Corp. and NEC Corporation of America today demonstrated a feature of Longhorn that will allow administrators to add and swap processors, storage devices and memory without needing to take the entire machine offline.
In addition, Longhorn has now been officially dubbed “Windows Server 2008,” even though it’s still scheduled to ship in the second half of this year, said Eric Jewett, a Windows Server product manager at Microsoft.
Depending on the server manufacturer’s implementation, a Longhorn-equipped server may also be able to spot hardware components that are about to fail and do a hot-swap on its own without human intervention, according to spokesmen from NEC and Microsoft.
The new version of Windows Longhorn (now Windows 2008) does look very cool, I wonder how many companies are going to use the next operating system as a driver for migration to virtualization or energy efficiency. The extra features do sound fantastic, but if we can retain the control please, these things are great but I need a large override button in case the need arises.
Check out the article it covers the whole topic, its very cool.
